Question Upgrades advise please

[Reecej1903]

So I built my first pc almost a year ago now and as I planned I’d like to upgrade it as I got a very entry level pc just to get my foot in the door. I’d like advise on what to upgrade 1st and some suggestions on the exact parts maybe??
My current parts:

1. R3 2200G
2. Gtx 1050 2gb
3. Msi b350m
4. 2 x 4gb 2666 ram
5. 120gb ssd, 1TB hdd
6. 550w psu
7. Cooler master master box lite 3

I also only have 1 exhaust fan and I think I need to get some for the front but should I only get 1 on the front if I only have 1 exhaust or should I position the psu as exhaust???

What's your budget ?

I have a few hundred (£) saved up but I’m mostly planning on doing it over time but just want to get a plan in place I suppose

Your best bet would be to get a rx 570 or rx 580.

Bios update, and at least an R5 3600, come July 7, and a better graphics card, like a GTX 1660, or better. What is the make/model, on that PSU? If it is not a very good quality model, that needs to be swapped, before anything else is done.

It’s a Corsair psu. I was thinking of getting the r5 2600 is it worth the wait?

Both good cards. Would it be worth the extra for a 1660 ti?

I would wait, on CPU upgrade, as it's only 3 weeks till we see benchmark results, for Ryzen 3000.

Yeah for gpu I’m mostly just weighing up 580 and 1660 ti

The 1660ti is quite a bit faster, than a 580. Even the non TI, 1660, is a bit faster. I would put the non TI version around RX 590 performance.
